Finding the right contact lenses can feel frustrating. Soft lenses don’t give you clear vision, or you need something stronger.

What Are RGP Contact Lenses?

RGP contacts are firm lenses made from durable materials that let oxygen reach your eyes. Unlike soft lenses that bend easily, these lenses hold their shape on your eye. It gives you sharper, clearer vision—especially if you have astigmatism or irregular corneas.

We fit two types of RGP lenses:

Myopia can worsen each year without treatment, increasing the risk for severe eye problems later in life, including.

Single Vision RGP Contacts

These lenses are designed to correct one vision problem at a time, such as nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). They are rigid, durable, and offer clearer vision than soft lenses for some patients.

Multifocal RGP Contacts

These lenses help people with presbyopia see clearly at multiple distances. They combine near and far vision correction in one lens, reducing the need for reading glasses.
